It accurately calculates the fuel cost based on the car details provided in the route options. Entering the make, range, model, year, fuel, and engine type, ViaMichelin can provide a close estimate on the fuel consumption and cost information specific to your vehicle. This calculation is based on the type of roads used for an average drive.
ViaMichelin also provides information on the toll cost, with the breakdown of each toll used in Europe, including Switzerland (vignettes). The information is updated based on the current rate. The toll prices are also adapted to the vehicle type used, whether a car, motorcycle or camper van.
